»The Justiciability of Climate and Environmental Protection. Effective Legal Protection as a Response to Structural Enforcement Deficits«: The title of the thesis is simultaneously the problem and the objective. Despite the right of associations to sue under the UmwRG, large parts of environmental and climate protection remain in the responsibility of the executive and legislative power. An objective-legal orientation, non-binding declarations of intent and much more complicate justiciability. The thesis shows at which points the executive and legislative ›black box‹ can and must be opened for the judiciary.

»The Protection of the Wild Wolf in the Multi-Level System. An Examination of International, EU and National Regulations with Special Consideration of Lethal Removal«: The return of the wolf is a success story of species conservation law. However, it has given rise to a number of conflicts that the law is trying to resolve. There is a strict protection status at all legal levels, i.e. at international, EU and national level, but exceptions, in particular lethal removal, are possible. The political endeavours to lower the protection status in future are only compatible with higher-ranking law if they start at the level of international law and proceed »top-down«.
